Hi,

I am looking for a gaming monitor with 1440p and at least 100hz. G-Sync is desired but optional since i will be pairing this with a GTX 1070. Response time of 1ms is highly preferable.

Thanks in Advance

24" and $100 under budget.

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I have the 27" one and it is phenomenal. The 24" one is really good as well, but personally, I like the increase in screen real estate and thought it was worth the increase in price. Also, G-Sync is a plus.

Whats the difference be Dell's UltraSharp 27 InfinityEdge Monitor | U2717D and Gaming Monitor - S2716DG?

Which one would be better for gaming?

The ultrasharp is ips (better colors and wider viewing angles) and is color calibrated. However, the refresh rate is only 60 hz, there's no g sync, and response time is lower.

 

The second is definitely better for gaming, the first is better for content creation.
